University of North Florida
Board of Trustees

Item 1 Call to Order

The purpose of this item is to present proposed amendments to the schedule of tuition and fees regulation, which was approved by the Board of Trustees June 19. These proposed amendments are a result of the Board of Governors recent action regarding tuition differential proposals from the university.

This regulation will be promulgated as an emergency regulation. This action is necessary in order to timely implement rates and fees for the fall 2012 registration period. The regulation will be presented as a permanent regulation, identical to the revisions, at the October Board of Trustees meeting.

The purpose of this item is to seek approval for a change order, on behalf of UNF's new dining facility. Based on the Resolution on Presidential Authority (20)(d), the Board of Trustees granted the President the specific authority to approve change orders for amounts not exceeding $100,000. Change orders for an amount exceeding $100,000 may be approved by the President, after consultation and approval of the chair of the Finance and Audit Committee. Change orders exceeding $1 million require the prior approval of the Finance and Audit Committee.

We did not receive the PECO funds as requested for the third and fourth floor of the dining facility. We were able to provide some budget to shell out those floors. We have now identified additional dollars to budget to complete the project. The Amendment (Change Order) for this additional work is approximately $2.5 million and requires the Finance and Audit Committee to vote on this amendment.
